IRONING DEVICE FOR SHOEMAKERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 737,926, datedSeptember 1, 1903.

Serial No. 146.450. (No model.)

.To @ZZ 207mm/ it wtay concern:

Be it known that we, AMos S. HAYDEN, residing at Avon, in the county ofNorfolk, and fLLlAn F. PACKARD, resdingat Brockton,

5 in the county of Plymouth, State of Massachusetts, have invented newand useful Improvements in Ironing Devices for Shoemakers and others, ofwhich the following is a specication.

Our invention consists of an ironing device shoemakers and othersembodying a ro- -..table wheel having a frictional surface against whichthe tool or iron proper is placed, so as to be heated by the samewithout the use of lire, dsc., said tool or iron proper being portableand removable from said Wheel, so as to be applied to the place ofservice and returned to said wheel, so as to be reheated.

It also consists of novel details of construction, as will behereinafter described.

Figure l represents a longitudinal section on line a; :15, Fig. 2, of anironing device embodying our invention. Fig. 2 represents a transversesection thereof on line y y, Fig. l. Fig. 3 represents an end view of adetached portion. Fig. 4 represents a top view of a. detached portion.Fig. 5 represents a top or plan view of the ironing-tool or iron proper.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspending parts in thefigures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a .shaft which is mounted on thestandards or bearings B and provided with the pulley C for drivingpurposes. Bolted or otherwise 55 secured to said shaft is a wheel formedof the heads D, which are placed vertically on said shaft and have theirinner sides convex or flaring, so that the space or passage between saidheads widens from center to circum- 4o ference, as at E. On said innersides of the heads D are facings F, of leather or other material, thesame being rmly secured to said sides by rivets or other proper means.

The standards B in the present case are 45 formed with or secured to thetrough G, into which the heads D are adapted to rotate, said troughserving as a frame to support the stands H and J,which are locatedrespectively, in front and at the rear of said heads D iu line with thepassage E between the latter. The upper portion of the stand J isbifurcated and has secured thereto the spring-clip K, which risesbetween the members of the bifurcation, as most plainly shown in Fig. 3.

L designates an ironing device which is adapted more particularly forshoemakers work, the same consisting of the iron proper or head L of theform of a tapering-block and connected with the shankl M, the latterbeing provided with handles N.

The operation is as follows: Power is applied to the pulley C, wherebythe heads D are rotated, preferably with great speed. The iron is nowapplied in position in the top portion of the passage E and one handle Nrested on the stand H and the opposite portion of the shank M, embracedby the clip K, the iron thus being firmly held and retained in contactwith the facings F, whereby owing to the friction between .the parts theiron will be heated in a convenient and reliable manner without theemployment of re, an electric current, or otherheating medium eiceptingsuch as is the resultant friction of the rotary heads on the iron. Theiron may then be removed and applied to shoes or other articles to beironed, burnished, dto., and after rendering service may be returned tothe 'place of location against the heads D and be reheated for furtheruse.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-` 1. A tool-heating device comprising arotatable head one face of which is oblique to its axis and meansconnected with the frame of the device for supporting a tool infrictional contact with said oblique face.

2. A tool-heating device comprising a plurality of heads the inner facesof which are separated, means for rotating said heads and means forsupporting@I tool and retaining it between said faces.

A 3. A tool-heating device comprising a pair of heads, the inner facesof which separate from each other toward their peripheries, means forrotating said heads and means for retaining between said faces a tool tobe rotated.

4. A tool-heating device comprising a pair of headsthe adjacent sides ofwhich flare apart, a facing of friction-producing material on saidsides, means for rotating said heads and means for detaehablyretaningbetween said faengs a tool to be heated.

5. A tool-heating device comprising a pair of heads the adjacent facesof which flare apart, means for rotating said heads and stands adaptedt-o detaehably support oppo- It is hereby certified that ton,Massachusetts, for an erroneously issued to therein [SEAL] Correctionsin Letters Patent No. 737,926.

a shaft carrying the same, a support for said shaft, stands on saidsupport adapted to de taehably sustain opposite members of a tool to beheated and retain the tool-head against a face of said rotatable head,and a clip on one of the stands adapted to embrace the adjacent memberof the tool.
